Pope Leo XIV Urges Ceasefire as War Violence Escalates | SG News

Pope Leo XIV has made a powerful appeal for an immediate ceasefire in the Middle East, urging world leaders to stop the violence and reopen paths of dialogue. The Holy Father delivered the message during the Sunday Angelus prayer in St. Peter’s Square, addressing thousands of pilgrims gathered for prayer. Speaking with deep concern about the suffering caused by the conflict, the pope stressed that violence can never bring justice or lasting peace. “Let the fire cease and let paths of dialogue be reopened,” he said, appealing in the name of Christians in the Middle East and all people of goodwill. The Holy Father noted that the people of the region have endured weeks of hardship as military exchanges and attacks continue to impact several nations. He also expressed particular concern for Lebanon, where recent strikes have resulted in civilian casualties and deepened fears for the country’s future. Entrusting the suffering region to God, Pope Leo XIV invited the faithful around the world to pray for peace, reconciliation, and healing. His appeal highlights the Church’s enduring mission to proclaim the Gospel of peace and to stand beside all who suffer in times of war and violence. 🙏 Let us pray for peace in the Middle East and for all victims of war. 📢 Stay Updated with ⁨ ⁨‪@SGNEWS-SG‬ – Faith, Society & Global Christian Perspective SG News, the digital wing of Shekinah News, delivers breaking news, inspiring stories, and in-depth coverage on Christian communities, faith-driven issues, and socio-political developments in India and around the world.
